Unwrapping the First Christmas




Unwrapping the First Christmas

Have you ever wondered about the origins of Christmas and the traditions celebrated in Western cultures? What about the myth of the jolly, old fellow who flies with incredible speed in a sleigh pulled by eight tiny reindeer? Or the story of St. Nicholas of Myra and his remarkable generosity? And, what about those fantastic events surrounding the Nativity? Are they trustworthy or just fanciful stories.


Unwrapping the First Christmas focuses on the origins of many Western traditions and myths like the Christmas tree, mistletoe, and Santa Claus that have found their way into popular culture and often distract people from the very first Christmas.


We invite you into a special season to reflect on the birth of Jesus Christ. Whether this is the first time you've heard the Christmas story or you've grown up hearing it since childhood, you will be blessed to learn more about the most remarkable miracle to has ever taken place.


“Dr. Cooper has mixed real life and family-minded encouragement with thorough historical and scientific research in order to bring a rich and transformational turn on the implications of the incarnation. For the faithful and the skeptic, for the scholar and the parent, here is miracle and reality as our Father surely intended.”

Dr. Neal F. Brower, Western District Superintendent, Evangelical Free Church of America
